A friend and former coworker I admire has left her daily job as a graphic web designer and is leaping into independent work as a freelance for-hire web designer.

You have reached the online portfolio of Janet Lackey. I'm a graphic designer living in the midwestern U.S. city of St. Louis, Missouri. As I approach a decade in the design field, I find what makes my career so enjoyable are the colorful variety of projects and clients I work with.

A few months back, my friend Ryan registered a domain and set up a website to showcase his fantasy artwork. I posted about Psycho-Ink previously, but Ryan got a real domain and is developing it with a little troubleshooting help from me.

My friend and coworker, Mark, has updated his website. He didn't win the mayor's seat back in March, but he is still stirring up activism and enthusiasm. His ideas are pretty out there, but this is only a symptom of his genius.

My friend and coworker, Kevin, has an online store of refurbished technology products where you should be shopping.

HotBloc is one of the fastest growing online merchandise brokers to hit the internet. We are trying our very best to be first in customer service, with some of the most competitive pricing in the industry, specializing in new and refurbished items from the best names in the business!

All of our computers are assembled by trained staff, and they are all put together by hand. We use screws and pins that are packaged by the manufacturers, we don’t insert needless, breakable plastic parts that can become loose or break. Plastic parts may make installation faster, and easier, but they also can make the computer less reliable so we will not use them unless they are recommended by individual component manufacturers.

If you are looking for a great deal on a new PC, be sure to check them out.

Antonia Philips is another coworker of mine. Her and her husband Rick were mentioned previously with Ricks-Garage. The two of them share my interests in many things, including fantasy literature. In fact, she is a writer. Read about her book series "Legend of the Five".

Update (2007/02/13): Firstly, Rick and Toni got a divorce. Neither work for MonsterCommerce anymore. Toni's website about her book is currently in a hiatus/construction mode, so there isn't currently much information about the book. The design does look pretty cool in progress though.

Rick Nelson, Toni Phillips & Jeremy Galba maintain this site. My coworker Rick and his wife Toni bought a new house a while back and wanted to invite all their friends over to see it and have a great house party. Then they realized this would likely trash their new house. So they came up with the idea to host the party in the two-car garage. Eventually, the epic events warranted a web site.

Update (2007/02/13): Rick's website has been gone for a while. Rick and Toni got divorced and I believe Toni is selling the house. All eras must come to an end, I'd guess.
